    Yep! it's a terrible mess and they will have to have bricks hacked out and replaced and most of the wall repointed.

    Here's a question for anyone with teenage lads...
    Just how do they keep their trousers from falling completely down??
    You can see Mary's are at half mast too!

    Well it was back to the grindstone today after five weeks off work...and I ended up only half a mile from home [​IMG] We have fitted a lift for tha disabled and installed a new doorway. I did a glazing repair after the Joiner dropped a chunk of Oak through a couple of panes.
    [​IMG] It was good to get back at it!

    And today I went to survey for repairs at an old Mill I used to play at when I was a little chap.
    I spent hours swimming in the race and nearly went through the sluice once when my pal started to lower it :D Great fun!

    So pleased to see you are out and about a bit, Pal. Take it easy though!

    We go to look at our old Mill on Tuesday lunchtime.
